    It took me a while to decide what to do with those poplar leaves that I've collected this summer, but here we are, an electroformed set of jewelry. Thanks to all my supporters.

    I love your design and style! thanks for sharing your video! I just got a rectifier so i'll be trying out electroforming soon! Do you mind sharing what the composition of your graphite paint is? looks nice and thin and you can use it with the spray gun! Thanks again! great work!

      Thank you, really appreciate your comment! I'm gonna make more videos about electroforming and the DIY side of it. It would be great if you subscribe my channel, that will help me keep it going!

    Hello do you know, if the leaves has to be totally dried before you paint them, thank you

    • @cuforming

      In this video the leaves are naturally dry. But, with the conductive paint I use they can be covered directly, even if they are fresh. I have the recipe for sale in my website if you are interested. www.cuforming.com/tutorials.php

    Great video, thanks for posting! I just had a quick question, Im a beginner, but why would you need to paint on the relief paint to bridge the gap between the stone and the leaves, why cant you just paint it with the conductive paint, wouldn't the electroformed copper essentially act as the bridge, and just fill in that gap anyways? Or is it just a cleaner edge or something...thanks!!!

    • @cuforming

      I rather fill all the gaps for two reasons, to make the piece flat and smoother, I don't want the 90 degrees angle and, more important, for a mechanical issue... when you leave big gaps there is the possibility that your piece will break.
      The conductive paint that I use isn't gonna fill that little gap, I should use it over and over. Two coats of that stuff are more than enough.
      I never saw anybody using relief paint this way. I found it a easier and faster solution.

    Muy lindas piezas!!! mi pregunta es con cuantos Ampers trabajaste?

    • @cuforming
      @cuforming  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Muchas gracias!!! Normalmente calculo los Amperes en base a la superficie en pulgadas (inches) cuadradas. Mira este video th-cam.com/video/luzEOH1cWHw/w-d-xo.html para entender.

    What to do exactly to make copper so shiny?

    • @cuforming
      @cuforming  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      To make copper shiny you need brightener. There are different kinds and brands. I will soon make a video about this topic!

      @@cuforming I make a solution and brightener from a recipe from Jason Welsh (on TH-cam), but maybe you use your own proportions? Would you make a video about creating your own solution and brightener, or a video about ready-to-buy? I think it would be nice to have the first one, a lot of people don't live in the US and it's not possible to buy Midas or something :(
